National League 2 South

In recent weeks, it really has all been about the title race and to an extent, but despite Cambridge moving seven points clear at the top on Saturday, all the drama happened towards the wrong end of the table.

In Round 22 across National One, National Two North and National Two South there were twists and turns in all three divisions at both ends of the table after another thrilling Saturday of rugby.

Cambridge head into Round 22 of the season leading the way in National Two South, but they will be fully aware that any mishaps now could be terminal to their title chances.

With Cambridge not in action due to their game against Taunton being postponed, it was a chance for the Old Albanian to move back to the summit of National Two South but they failed to take advantage.

This enthralling title race took another twist last week as Cambridge went back to the summit of National Two South after Old Albanian were defeated for the second time in as many weeks.

Another thrilling weekend of National League rugby flew by on Saturday with twists and turns happening in all three divisions.

Back to back defeats against promotion rivals Cambridge and Bishops Stortford have seen the Old Albanian knocked of their perch at the summit of National Two South.

The Old Albanian’s title chances were dealt a blow last weekend as second placed Cambridge defeated them at Woolmans, meaning the gap at the top is now just two points as we enter Round 20 of this sensational National Two South season.

It was always going to be the game of the weekend across the National Leagues and the eagerly anticipated clash between the Old Albanian and Cambridge lived up to expectations as a thrilling finale ended with Cambridge securing victory.

For both the Old Albanian and Cambridge, the build up to this weekend has been huge. To be honest, their fixture against each other this Saturday could give us a much clearer picture of who will be crowned champions of National Two South at the end of April.

The bottom half of National Two South has been the focus of attention over the last couple of weeks and at the end of Round 18, small gaps have now started to emerge as teams look to move away from the relegation zone.

As exciting as National Two South has been towards the top of the table so far this season, the bottom half in this division seems to be getting closer and closer as we rapidly approach the final third of the campaign.

The Old Albanian went clear at the top last weekend after Cambridge’s defeat, but they sent out a huge message on Saturday as they ran in eight tries to hammer home their ambition of making an immediate return to National One.

Two tries in the first 11 minutes was enough for Stourbridge to clinch victory over Caldy as they climbed to second in the National Two North table.

The Old Albanian head into Round 17 as the leaders of National Two South, but will be fully aware that they cannot afford any mistakes as Cambridge found out last weekend.
